 
Growing Food For London Conference
30 June, 10am - 7pm
City Hall
Greater London Authority
City Hall
The Queen's Walk, SE1 2AA
 
  
The day will deal with the question of how to cater for the rising demand for space to grow food in the capital in the face of increasing pressure on land.
Through a series of presentations and discussions, we will explore how more food could be grown on under utilised areas, and look at examples of existing food growing initiatives and training schemes. The day will cover the urban fringe and how commercial farming can be maintained and expanded, the potential for growing food in parks and on social housing land and much more.
This event follows recent work that London Food Link has been doing on urban agriculture, including a report on urban agriculture in the US – Edible Cities - which we hope will inspire more of this activity in London (see www.sustainweb.org/page.php?id=431). The conference is being supported by a number of organisations including the London Parks and Green Spaces Forum.
For more information and to book a place at the event, please email londonfoodlink@sustainweb.org. More details will be available on www.londonfoodlink.org in April.
